However, the comparison between unforgiving healing and unforgiving interrupts is not equal. In Wrath, tanks can be gibbed from 100 to 0 in the space of a couple of seconds. To compensate for this, healers were just spamming their heal on the tank - with no thought of decision making, just plain old spam (and not "skill"). Interrupts, on the other hand, require skill to execute and will certainly make the interrupter happy when they go off. <br /><br />Interrupting Halfus is not as critical as you think. Even if all 3 stuns go off (even in heroic), it's still possible to survive. In Nefarian, 1 blast nova can frequently be fatal, but it's possible to survive.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381576369055180683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-28366829859717930322011-03-30T09:13:14.398-07:002011-03-30T09:13:14.398-07:00WotLK had some interrupt fights.

Probably not has prevalent as today, but I remember the hell of missing an interrupt on General (25) and Anub'arak (H) (the shadowstrike from the adds).<br /><br />I acquired long ago the reflex of kicking any cast bar, but it surprises me the number of rogues, ret paladins and dps shamans that just never seem to interrupt (e.g. in Blackrock Cavern on my paladin tank, I am the one ending up interrupting the shadowstrike on the super-trash).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-45568922883638914822011-03-30T08:10:35.364-07:002011-03-30T08:10:35.364-07:00one mage can actually cover all the interrupts. t...one mage can actually cover all the interrupts. they just have to blink out of the 3rd stun and then interrupt. blink's cd lines up pretty well with the stuns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-5240727926385151962011-03-30T06:30:08.255-07:002011-03-30T06:30:08.255-07:00My guild doesn't have a regular raiding mage t...My guild doesn't have a regular raiding mage though as we're a 10 man guild, but that shadow nova will still kill people if it isn't interrupted or mitigated in some form.<br /><br />We actually have a paladin bubble rotation set-up now to deal with it, but we don't always bring 3 pallies either T_THatsuharuhttp://uc-elevator-victims.wowstead.com/forumsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-43364977725450421832011-03-30T05:34:40.203-07:002011-03-30T05:34:40.203-07:00Babar beat me to it.

Just make sure you don't blink past him and end up with Halfus behind you when you're trying to counterspell. Not that I've ever done that. <.< >.>Pahonixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-48741669235820063062011-03-30T01:32:40.074-07:002011-03-30T01:32:40.074-07:00I'm a healer, but I agree fully.

And I think everyone that hasn't been in interrupting duty thinks it's a lot easier than it really is.<br /><br />As for knockdown, you just need a single mage that Blinks through the last one, then counterspells.
